E.B. White once wrote, "New York blends the gift of privacy with the excitement of participation." If you've never read his essay Here Is New York you should probably read it, A because two of my professors have already assigned it within the first month of classes and B because it's a really well-written description of the city and what it's like to live here. Saturday was practically begging me to wander the streets near Union Square, of course make a pit stop at Free People (where I found this top for 50% off- SCORE!!) and spend some time people-watching. It was the perfect combination of privacy and participation. And it was so New York.
